honey dripping from the caves of his
house, Bees were seen to come and
90 from the kitchen roof, and on re-
moving q board Mr.. sonntag discovered
bonanza of honey ten feet long by
two feet thick. He managed to take

 The illustrated lectures given at the town hall during the past week, by the popular physiognomist, mimic, humorist and lecturer, Dr Robert F. Browne, of Rochester, N. Y, assisted by Dr Geo Largest, of Brooklyn, N. Y., were of the highest order. They were not only instructive, but were exceed ingly interesting and entertaining, being sandwiched with wit and humor suffici- ent to keep the audience in happy frame of mind. The lectures deserve crowded house, but we are sorry to say they have been slim]y attended, no doubt for the very reason that in the past our citizens have been so frequent ly humbuged by travelling entertain ments that they have become over-cau- tious and indifferent to all except home. talent entertainments, nevertheless the fact remains that those who have not attended this course of lectures have missed rare mine of instruction. The last lecture of the course will be given this evening, subject, "Love, Marriage and Divorce" For two reasons we hope the town hall will be crowded to- night !; first, in justice to the subject and appreciation of the lecturer sec- ond, to prevent Canaan being cIassed as town perfectly indifferent to meritori- ous lectures. We hope we shall not be compelled to admit that our citizens are so conservative that they will patronize only entertainments where the proceeds remain in their own hands, in other words "a-keep-what-you-have- -got-and- get-what-you-can" policy or be com pelled to admit that only @nigger- show" can draw an audience in Canaan.

Capture of Q HOrse Thief.

Charles F. Williams, alias John B. Clarke, was arrested at East Grafton, N. H., Wednesday of last week by Deputy Sheriff Perry, of Lakeville, upon com plaint for stealing B. w.. Warner's horse, wagon and harness, in this will age, Oct3. .... The facts of the theft are brify as follows Williams came to Mir War ner's hotel Oct 3, in company with a woman, claimed to be his wife, and wanted to hire rig to go to Canaan Mountain and visit some friends there, agreeing to return some time the next day. Williams left with the property and no more was seen of him and the property, by MT w. until last Wednes- day. It now appears that Williams was known by some people in Norfolk, where he had lived some years ago, and it was from these people that clue was obtained which led to his arrest. MT Warner and Deputy Perry found Williams living on the mountains about five miles from the railroad, upon a place which he claimed to own. The stolen carriage had been taken apart and secreled in barn upon the premi- ses. The harness was found under a bed in Williams house, and the horse was in a pasture lot near by.
 Williams was brought before Justice Bennett, at Canaan, Conn.,, Thursday afternoon, and plead guilty to the theft. remarking, "that he was in box and would make as little trouble and expense as possible" Justice Bennett required him to furnish bonds in the sum of S1,OO0 for his appearance at the next April term of the superior court, and being unable to obtain bonds he was committed to jail Thursday night by Deputy Perry. The culprit is man about 28 years of age, with wife and one child, about 8 years of age. His family were living in the mountains with him at the time of his arrest, and the woman that was with him at the time the property was taken from | Canaan proves to be his wife. From the fact that Williams had another spare horse and carriage in his possess ion at the time of the arrest it is inferred that this is not his first offence of this character
 l Messrs Warner and Perry speak very highly of Governor Sawyer, of New Hampshire, who cheerfulTy signed the extradltion papers, and of the good people of Grafton, who lent willing hand in making the arrest.

An .Enterprising Firm.

Messrs w. B. Hall x Co.,, of Bridge port, are large dealers in silks, furs, seal cloaks, fine dress goods, domestic laces, gloves, hosiery, underwear, etc. At this season of the year their cloak stock alone inventories $50, ,0OO, which is 8 sure guarantee that they can fur nish any style or quality of cloak desired
 The Bridgeport Farmer thus speaks of them |: "This house makes it a strict rule to sell goods ata close living profit, receiving abundant evidence of the just appreciation of it's efforts and the confidence of the public by the large amount of trade it is thus enabled to control throughout this section. It carries one of the heaviest stocks, which is chosen with great care from the best markets in the country" We would not forget to mention the cloak department, in which will be found all the novelties of the season. Messrs. Hall &Co. carry by far the largest and most carefully selected stock in the State, and, we say without fear of contradiction that as judges and competent buyers they stand at the head of the trade"
